Easy Housekeeping.

In former years il was no easy task
for young married couple to "go tC
housekeeping" and it required nc
small expenditure of cash. A range OF
cooking stove, coffee and spice mill,
mortar, cake-board and rolling-pin
a tray and chopping knife, not to
mention large number of pots,
kettles, frying-pans and bowls. and q
large stock of raw materials in the line
of provisions, were required. Then
considerable skill was necessary to use
all these instruments for preparing
food for the table, and that skill, un-
fortunately. was not possessed by the
Young wife. The consequence was
that most persons who embarked on
the sea of matrmony sailed directly TO
n boarding house, ard set up their
household divinities in back chamber,
where they remained till the land lady
levied on them for an overdue bill for
meals and lodgings.
But modern invention has rendered
housekeeping very easy. A couple may
now set up for themselves with very
few utensils. scarcely any provisions,
and next to no knowledge of cookery.
A gas or oil stove takes the place of a
costly and cumbrous cooking range.
Coffee is bought not only parched but
ground. Spices and pepper come all
prepared for use. Every kind of bread.
cake and pastry can be purchased at a
slight advance on the cost of the
materials they contain. If one wishes
the sport of making them, self-raising
flour may be had in any grocery. Fruit
OF all kinds all ready for the table can
be purchased about as eheaply as that
which must be prepared. Not only
Holsters and other she'll fish, but
salmon, may be bought cooked and
ready to be served at price but little
above what the crude article cost; and
cooked corned beef, tongue, pigs feet
and haru have long been on the market.
There are also canned soups, that
only need to be diluted, mince meat, all
ready to put between piecrusts. and
roast meats and fowls of all descrip-
tions. Some grocers keep mush pre-
pared for frying. Boston baked beans,
put up in cans, have had great run
during the past few years. English
plum puddings are also on the market.
Cans of cooked green corn, beans, peas.
tomatoes, caulihower and asparagus.
with Saratoga fried potatoes, are to be
found on the shelves of every grocery,
while laundries do the washing and
ironing.
1t is no longer necessary to be a
cook, or to have cook, to keep house.
1t requires scarcely any cooking
utensils to provide a warm meal. A
can opener, a frying pan and n coffee
pot are all the principal requisites
Even the last is not absolutely neoes-
sary, since a mixture of prepared coffee,
sugar and cream may readily be obtain
ed. II is even practical now for the
novice to dispense with a cook book, as
the label on every can tells how to
treat the contents. Surely, ladies need
no longer complain that the labors of
housekeeping keep them from culti-
yating their minds.

Don't "Rush'' a Telegram.

Never write rush across the face

a despatch showed through in hurry.
He would write rush across its face,
thinking that would help it along. Now,
the idea of such thing just as il
everything WASH trushed in telegraph
office, that is, if left to itself. The boys
look upon anything like that almost al
"A personal affront. What is the con.
sequence? The receiving clerk takes
the message, frowns littlo when the
rush comes to view, receives the
money, says all right, and the sender
walks out complacently. Then the
clerk picks up the despatch again,
looks it over slowly, toys with it and
smiles. just here two or three other
pers ons come in, and he lays aside the
rush to wait on them. Finally he
takes up his little pile of messages, puts
the rush at the bottom and hands the
batch over to the record clerk. When
the record clerk comes to the rush
message he also smiles. As it is the
last on his desk he plays with it for q
while, practices penmanship on il
docs the Spencerian act, you know,
takes his time in recording it, in fact,
docs everything but rush it.
From the desk of the record clerk
the messages are given to the opera.
tors by the file boy, He. too has a
great antpathy for rush messages.
If all the operators are not at leisure
he supplies those who are from the top
of the pile. and sticks the rest on the
hook. If there is rush in the lot. i,
always goes on the hook. The
upshot of the whole matter is
that this precious piece of paper,
with its immensely important communi.
cation, which the sender wanted rush
ed is about the last despatch sent out. !"
